| | Natural_D Sunday, September 27, 2009 2:25 AM | I may be misunderstanding what you want to do, but perhaps you are talking about using a property:
private string myVariable; // your variable that you want to share
// the following property gives a getter and setter to allow you to read and assign to the private variable
public string MyVariable
{
get
{
return this.myVariable;
}
set
{
this.myVariable = value;
}
}
This would allow you to access your variable from any other class. If you want to make it so that no other libraries can see it, you can the property from public to internal. This will limit visibility to a single namespace.
Hope this helps.

| | anubisascends Sunday, September 27, 2009 5:11 AM | wel, i knew that solution but it doesn't work.
i have a namespace, witch has toolstrip classes(toolstripitem, dropdown, Menustrip, renderer, etc, etc).
via the classclass 'cRenderer : ToolStripProfessionalRenderer' i provide ownerdraw effects to the 'cMenuItem : ToolStripMenuItem'
namespace cMenu
{
public class cMenuStrip : MenuStrip
{
public cMenuStrip()
{
this.Renderer = new cRenderer();
//this.ContextMenu = new cContextMenu();
this.ContextMenuStrip = new cContexMenuStrip();
//base.Height = 32;
this.BackColor = Color.LightGray;
this.ForeColor = Color.Black;
}
}
public class cMenuItem : ToolStripMenuItem
{
public bool mouseOver = false;
//public delegate
public bool MouseOver
{
get
{
return this.mouseOver;
}
set
{
this.mouseOver = value;
}
}
protected override void OnMouseHover(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnMouseHover(e);
mouseOver = true;
}
protected override void OnMouseLeave(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnMouseLeave(e);
mouseOver = false;
}
}
class cRenderer : ToolStripProfessionalRenderer
{
protected override void OnRenderMenuItemBackground(ToolStripItemRenderEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.Selected) // mouseover - apply color
{
}
else
{
}
}
}
}
how ever if a toolstripitem has a dropdown collection and gets shown, the applied effect disappears if you hover the mouse over the dropdown menu.
i wanna try to mimic of the original menustrip behaviour.
keep the effect applied until the mouse leaves the dropdown/contextmenu.
the only acces from inside 'cRenderer : ToolStripProfessionalRenderer' to 'cMenuItem' = ToolStripItemAccessibleObject.
System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem.ToolStripItemAccessibleObject
System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDownItemAccessibleObject
these 2 classes seems to provide what i'm looking for, but i dont know how to use them, i can't find examples from other people on this subject.
kind regards

How about something like this:
public class MyToolStripMenu : System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenu
{
List<MyMenuItem> menuItems;
public void CloseMenus()
{
foreach(MyMenuItem item in menuItems)
{
item.TryClose();
}
}
}
public class MyToolStripMenuItem : System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem
{
private bool mouseOver = false;
public void TryClose()
{
if(mouseOver)
{
// code that closes this menu
}
}
}
Now, everytime you raise the OnMouseEnter(EventArgs) method, you can try this:
((MyToolStripMenu)this.Parent).CloseMenus();
